Do dock builders need to be licensed?

• <div><p>In most areas, dock builders need some type of license. In some states, only a general construction license might be necessary, while a marine construction license is required in others. You can check online to see which is mandatory in your area, and then you can use Angi’s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a> to make sure the company holds the proper license. Since dock construction is inherently dangerous, confirm with your builder that they are fully insured for everyone’s protection.</p></div>

How often do boat docks need maintenance?

• <div><p>Boat docks need maintenance every year. Get an inspection at the end of each warm weather season, and remove the dock from the water if possible (if it’s made of wood) when not in use. You can also treat the wood to lessen the impact of moisture damage.</p></div>
